Chapter 81: Borrowing Money
For the sake of quietness, for the sake of her family, even if I go to the soup and fire, I will not give up. What is this pain, this dignity?
"It's nothing, I'm a man, I should be able to bend and stretch." I clenched my fists and placed them on my chest to show that I was strong and resilient.
I'm twenty-three years old, but my waist has never been bent down for anyone. Even if it was to worship my ancestors, I just arched my hands and never knelt. The ancients didn't bend their waists for five buckets of rice, but today I knelt down for a dime to people I didn't know, and everyone kowtowed three times. I don't know what dignity is, I just know that I love to be quiet.
"Brother Tofu, I remembered something." Little Dimple nodded, wiped away her tears, and before I could ask, she said again: "When Deng Qiong was hospitalized last year, I heard that you lent her 5,000 yuan, did she pay it back?" β
Oops, I almost forgot, if I hadn't fallen to the point of exhaustion today, I thought I'd forget it. But I don't say, how does the dimple know?
"Little dimple, how do you know?" I asked, confused.
Little Dimple asked me rhetorically, saying, "Brother Tofu, can I not know?" Deng Qiong went to work after her feet were good, and when she met people, she said how you carried her upstairs and how to lend her money. She also told her how you took care of her in the hospital and how you boiled bone broth for her every day. She said every detail several times. Therefore, everyone in the Golden Bowl Company knows. β
Now is the time when I need the money the most, and if she knows how to repay the favor, she should give it with both hands. And I am very embarrassed that she didn't do it?
I was embarrassed and said, "Well, it's been months, and I don't know how to talk to her." β
Little Dimple volunteered and said, "Brother Tofu, when is it?" The most important thing for you right now is to get money to heal and save people. You can't open your mouth, I'll help you ask her! β
Little dimple said that he would do it, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Deng Qiong's phone: "Hey, Sister Qiong?" I'm dimple. β
"Oh, dimple, what's the matter? Do you want your sister to accompany you shopping? β
"No, I'm in the hospital, with Brother Tofu. I suddenly remembered that you were hospitalized. β
"What, I can't hear it."
"When you were hospitalized, Brother Tofu helped you pay for the hospitalization, and now his mother-in-law is sick and needs money urgently, I hope you can pay back Brother Tofu."
"Oops, why is the signal so bad?"
Toot-toot-toot-toot-
"What's going on? Why did it hang? Problems with my phone? No, it won't. Just bought it a short time ago. Little Dimple slapped his mobile phone with his hand and said to himself: "The voice was very clear at the beginning, why did the signal suddenly fall poor, and I couldn't even hear it?" β
"Hehe, I see, it's not a bad signal, it's a bad character!" A voice broke through the mystery. It turned out that the aunt woke up.
"Hello, Auntie." Little Dimple greeted her aunt very politely.
I also said hello to my aunt: "Mom, are you awake?" β
At this time, I can't call Auntie, otherwise Auntie will definitely be very unhappy.
Auntie nodded with a smile and said, "Little girl, thank you for coming to see me." β
Little Dimple grinned and said, "Auntie, my name is You Meng, and everyone calls me Little Dimple." I'm not a little girl anymore, in half a year, I'll be 19 years old. My mom said she was married at that time. β
When it comes to getting married, Little Dimple glanced at me and was not shy.
The aunt smiled knowingly and said, "This girl is smart and cute." Oh, by the way, what about Jing'er? β
I said that I would go back to Lin Gui quietly and ask for the demolition money, and I would come back tonight or tomorrow morning.
"If all the demolition money is used on me, where will you and Jing'er live?" Auntie was displeased and worried about us.
"Mom, don't worry, we have a place to live now." When it comes to the house, I'm very empty.
"It's not a long-term solution. Even if your cousin is kind, it's not good to disturb people like this. You must have your own nest so that you can be safe and happy. "Auntie still doesn't give up.
I understand her good intentions, but the most urgent thing at the moment is to treat my aunt. The other qiΔ is ignored. Jing Jing was afraid that her mother would worry, so she didn't let her know that the noble lady disliked us and disturbed her.
"Mom, after curing your illness, I will work hard to earn money, and I will definitely be able to buy a house. You don't have to worry about this, you can treat the disease with peace of mind. "I can't tell Aunt SΓΉ that I don't have a job anymore. When my aunt's condition improves, I will go to find a job.
"Yes, Brother Tofu is very capable. Auntie, don't worry. "Little Dimple knew that I was lying, and was still an "accomplice" on the side.
Although I left the Golden Bowl Company, Little Dimple still worships me. I don't know if my colleagues in the Golden Bowl Company are still as enthusiastic about me as Little Dimples, or if they are still cool.
I said to Dimple, "Dimple, is there anything wrong with you?" I want to ask you to stay here with my mother, and I'm going to find the beautiful phoenix in person. β
"It's okay, Brother Tofu. I'll take care of Auntie, you can rest assured to do your business. "The dimples were refreshing.
But the aunt was not happy: "I'm fine alone, girl, you can also do your business." β
The doctor just told me that the patient's condition is very bad now, and that the patient sometimes seems to be in good spirits, but in fact, the patient is in danger of suddenly falling into a coma at any time, and the family must not leave an inch.
Little dimple pushed me to the door, crossed his hands on his hips, and said, "Auntie, you just treat me as Sister Jingjing and Brother Tofu, if you have anything to order, you don't have to be polite." β
The aunt looked at the dimple with a very mature look and smiled. I said thank you to the wine and left.
Mei Phoenix should still be enthusiastic about me, right? She must have been overjoyed by my arrival. And her parents, they must have been pleasantly surprised, they must have been very happy. The first time I was invited to the door, the beautiful phoenix almost insulted me. Since then, Mei Fenghuang has invited me to her house for dinner several times, but I have rejected them under various excuses. Mei Feng said that her parents liked me very much and often talked about me.
Once, Mei Phoenix's parents couldn't hold it anymore and ran to the unit to look for me. I really don't want to let two old people come to the door. However, I was worried that they would misunderstand the relationship between me and Mei Phoenix, so I still declined their invitation. I would like to put it mildly, now I am preparing for the economist title exam, and the time is relatively tight, and I will go again after the exam.
Mei Phoenix's father listened, gave me a thumbs up, and said, "Young people are self-motivated, yes, I support you." I chose you as my son-in-law, I didn't look away. Remember to go to my house immediately after the test, and let's have two drinks. β
When I heard the word "son-in-law", I immediately shivered. I can appreciate it, but you can't put a hat on my head. After the exam, I never came.
"Aunt Aber, I'm here!" I rang the doorbell and shouted through the cracks.
"Who?" Abel's voice came from inside the door.
"Abel, it's me. I'm Chi Doufu. I replied with a smile.
"Oh, it's Koike!" I could tell that Ah Bo was excited about my arrival, and then I heard the sound of the door unlocked.
"Old man!" It was Auntie, and even though the voice was low and small, I could hear it.
"Hello, Auntie!"
The door was about to open, and I would see two surprised faces. When the distinguished guests come to the door, the two elders must be happy.
